    Week 8 of the college football season will feature an electrifying SEC matchup between the Alabama Crimson Tide and the Tennessee Volunteers. Both teams are on a mission to avoid a second loss this season, knowing their College Football Playoff hopes are at stake.

    The Volunteers showed their resilience by rebounding to beat Florida 23-17 in overtime in Week 7 after suffering a tough loss to Arkansas the week before. The Volunteers’ player of the game was running back Dylan Sampson, who scored his third touchdown on a 1-yard run in overtime, securing the win for Tennessee and handing the Gators their third loss of the season.

    After a shocking loss to unranked Vanderbilt, the Crimson Tide were determined to avoid another setback. They managed a narrow victory against South Carolina and won 27-25 in Week 7. Alabama defensive back Domani Jackson was the hero of the game, intercepting Gamecocks quarterback LaNorris Sellers in the final seconds, giving Alabama the decisive win.

    Heading into Week 8, both Alabama and Tennessee are in great positions with a record of 5-1 each. With a lot at stake and tension palpable, they cannot afford another defeat. Stay tuned for the highly anticipated SEC matchup.

    After a wild Week 7 of college football, there were some significant changes to the USA TODAY Sports Bowl predictions.

    With Oregon’s win over Ohio State and Texas’ dominant win over Oklahoma, the Longhorns remain No. 1 in the USA TODAY Sports Re-Rank 1-134.
